Description
Eagle Killer, also known as R.E.V. (Race Exertion Vehicle), serves as tactical officer within the elite Autobot Spychangers unit, aiding leader Hot Shot (Artfire) in mission strategy. His signature ability features superior leaping, enabling traversal across urban environments by hopping between buildings. This skill enhances to true flight upon activating his Super Mode, granting advanced aerial maneuverability.
Throughout the 2001 *Robots in Disguise* cartoon, Eagle Killer joins critical missions. He pursues Predacons who stole the Plutonium Energy Generator, resulting in a beach confrontation where the team swaps the real generator for a fake. He later engages in efforts to rescue the captured Optimus Prime from Megatron, participates in the International Grand Prix to locate the missing Autobot Skid-Z, and aids in diverting lava during a volcanic eruption on Montrose Island. During a training dispute involving Mirage, Eagle Killer supports Hot Shot's decision to remove Mirage but insists on pursuing Mirage's potential trap to destroy Megatron's Mega-Laser Cannon, demonstrating tactical pragmatism. He also participates in the final battle against Galvatron, celebrating afterward by racing with Skid-Z.
Within Japanese Generation 1 continuity, exclusively named Eagle Killer, he exists in the original cartoon's timeline where Autobots are time travelers from the Beast Era. He gains a Spark Engine upgrade via the "Super Spychanger Lottery," unlocking a Super Mode that enables genuine flight and enhances his tactical abilities for "three-dimensional" combat. According to "Ask Vector Prime," this Super Mode proves critical repelling an invasion by Chainsaw's Mutants. During this event, Eagle Killer rescues Kelly from Burnout in Greece and helps capture the villains through coordination, though the Spychangers later lose their Super Mode capabilities while retaining new color schemes. He also appears in the *Legends* comic, where Super Spychangers damage Scourge's ship during an assault on the Dimensional Patrol's Neo Brave Maximus.
In *Beast Wars: Uprising*, Eagle Killer operates as a Maximal Resistance pilot during Operation Amputation. He flies the Dreadrock over Protihex, deploying a K-Class Movor before being pursued and shot down by Vehicon aero drones.
His alternate mode is a Lamborghini Diablo, compatible with Hot Wheels and Matchbox tracks. His design incorporates a heat-sensitive Autobot insignia on the black windshield, visible when warmed. Tech specifications rate intelligence (9) and speed (8) as primary strengths, with moderate ratings in endurance (7), rank (7), skill (7), strength (6), courage (6), and firepower (5). He wields a shotgun in robot mode. Toy releases include an initial 2000 Japanese *Car Robots* figure (C-006), giftsets with other Spychangers, a JUSCO-exclusive transparent redeco, and a 2001 Hasbro two-pack with Hot Shot featuring a standard Autobot insignia and orange vehicle-mode detailing. Clear-plastic variants were later released individually through KB Toys and Target.
